Raising money for Send a Cow

Charity Registration No. 299717

Send a Cow helps African farmers grow enough food to feed their families, sell their produce and develop small businesses that last. We do this by providing training, livestock, seeds and ongoing support; and by helping families make the most of the land and resources they already have. As a result, families are happier and healthier, children are educated, homes are improved. In turn, these families then pass on young livestock, seeds or training to others. And so on. And so on. This ‘pass on’ principle not only builds stronger communities, it allows us to help even more people to develop skills, confidence and self respect. The ‘can do will do’ attitude of Send a Cow is born out of our faming roots and our Christian faith. Working hand in hand with African farmers for over 20 years, we prove that farming in Africa works.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Here is an update to my walking challenge: to walk the GR20 across Corsica , one of ’s toughest treks.

I completed the walk in 15 days as planned, with a break for a day, (after day 9), to rest my bruised feet; the 21 kilogram rucksack load I carried was not kind to my fallen arches. The walk itself was very tough, but quite extraordinarily beautiful and wild; an experience I will always treasure.

The fantastic news is that together we have managed to raise enough money to purchase one cow (£750) and some more resources besides that. This will transform the life of at least one family in with the potential to help many others as well. This is an amazing achievement.
